Complete Hydatidiform Mole with Co-Existing Fetus: A Case Report and Literature Review

doi:10.12280/gjfckx.20230567

Abstract

Abstract:

Hydatidiform mole and co-existing fetus (HMCF) is a rare obstetric disease, including complete hydatidiform mole with co-existing fetus (CHMCF) and partial hydatidiform mole with a co-existing fetus (PHMCF). A case of CHMCF was reported by continuous monitoring of thyroid function, human chorionic gonadotropin and fetal status during pregnancy up to 37 weeks of gestation and delivery of a live infant by cesarean section. CHMCF is a clinically rare and high-risk disease. Therefore, pregnancy, parturition and postpartum follow-up should be carefully diagnosed and closely monitored through ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chromosomal karyotype analysis in institutions with prenatal diagnosis and gynecological oncology centers.
